The Service

Monitoring analysis activities can be divided into three levels, primary, secondary and comprehensive, with each step requiring a varying level of competence and expertise.

To reap the benefits of vibration analysis, all steps in the monitoring chain should be covered. Vibration Diagnostics can provide this as a complete package or depending on site expertise and staffing availability, customers may choose to undertake some functions using their own staff.

Primary analysis

Primary analysis consists of daily, weekly or monthly checks, to ensure that the monitoring equipment is operational and any abnormal vibration behaviour is quickly highlighted, enabling a proactive approach. It will identify problems before they become critical and provide information for planned maintenance activities.

Secondary analysis

Secondary analysis is a regular activity intended to examine areas highlighted during the primary analysis and illustrate long-term trends.

Comprehensive analysis

Comprehensive analysis is the provision of expert advice when abnormalities have been identified. Such support is non-routine and requires the highest level of expertise and experience.
